Probably user stupidity, but it doesn't seem to work?

I've installed MacVim, symlinked mvim properly so I get to use the correct vi version in terminal. I've installed Vundle, and added the default required things, plus YouCompleteMe into ~/.vimrc

set nocompatible               " be iMproved
filetype off                   " required!
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
call vundle#rc()
" let Vundle manage Vundle
" required! 
Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'
Bundle 'https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe.git'
set completeopt+=preview

I've done the :BundleInstall, and it installed correctly. Built ymc, and was told it was installed successfully. But when I start using vim to type, I get these at the status area:

-- ^X mode (^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y)
-- User defined completion (^U^N^P) Pattern not found

No auto complete box or anything coming up.

For reference, vim --version shows: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Dec 12 2012 16:22:25)

The messages in the status area are normal and cannot be avoided.

You need to have a vim filetype set to something before getting the completion. If you just try to edit an empty file, its filetype will be set to 'text' and YCM ignores that filetype on purpose.

Same issue here, but filetype is already set to "cpp". Any idea?

Hey,

Why was this issue never addressed? I am having the same issue. No matter what kind of file I try to edit, it just says "^X mode (^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y)" at the bottom and no autocomplete suggestions are given.

Please help.

It is a strange issue, I have vim with YCM on my macbook and never had issue But the vim with YCM in my RHEL dev server has this issue.

My ycm works well before I update my plugins with "BundleInstall!" and recompile it. Then, I also encounter this problem, I do it with my desktop and laptop, however, they display different results.
In my desktop, ycm can not work normally, vim prompts me
-- ^X mode (^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y)
at insert mode.
In my laptop, ycm can work normally, however, vim prompts me
-- User defined completion (^U^N^P) Pattern not found
at insert mode.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
